Another fantastic idea for a list. Kudos!

PS - I vote for The Day the Earth Stood Still. ;)

I noticed that there isn't anything for 1928, so I'm suggesting that The Passion of Joan of Arc perhaps should be put to it's place. I'm sure there's many other great films missing, but I find this the most important.

1915 - D.W. Griffith Birth of a Nation
1916 - D.W. Griffith Intolerance
1919 - D.W. Griffith Broken Blossoms
1920 - Robert Wiene The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari
1923 - Cecil B. DeMille The Ten Commandments
1924 - Erich von Stroheim Greed (One of the defining movies of whole silent era)
1926 - Arnold Fanck Holy Mountain or F.W. Murnau Faust
1928 - Carl Theodor Dreyer The Passion of Joan of Arc (As Wolf mentioned this is quintessential film from silent era)
1929 - Georg W. Pabst Pandora's Box
1930 - Josef von Sternberg The Blue Angel
1931 - Even if you have one, I still can recommend for you Fritz Lang's M for it, because atleast personally I find it better than City Lights. And atleast if you add those runner-ups, this is a number one choice
1932 - Carl Theodor Dreyer Vampyr

There's couple I could remember without too much trouble, couple of the above I haven't seen personally, just suggested according to common knowledge and of what I have heard of em and because they are high on my "must see". Quite a good idea for a list actually and my vote goes for Kazan on 1951.

And what comes to availability all the above are available on DVD, except Greed and as far as I know it's coming at some point aswell.

Nice idea. Though I don't personally like most of the choises. Atleast for 70s-2010s :)

Recommendations to try out from some of the years that are missing:
1943 Meshes of the Afternoon
1945 Les Enfants du Paradis
or
Roma, città aperta

I'll try to figure out something from 1909-1915. Good luck :>

And you've given *** for Nosferatu, Try Häxan for 1922
